I detect a regional difference here. I would also always say "has already been made," but in the southern states of the U.S., it would be quite common to hear "has been already made."

This latter form has, to my ears, something of the discomfort of a split infinitive, even though there is no infinitive here. The tendency in AmE to put the adverb as close as possible to the verb it modifies may have lead to this preference for "already made."

I haven't noticed this. I would go with the same preferences that Panjandrum and Gaer noted.
